Copying jobs to and from folders using the copydefjob utility

This procedure describes how to copy job definitions from one folder to another folder using the copydefjob utility.

To copy jobs to and from folders using the copydefjob utility:

1. Do one of the following:
   • UNIX: Log on to a Control-M/EM account.
   • Windows: Open a command prompt window where Control-M/EM is installed. You do not need to be in the Control-M/EM database directory.

     NOTE: For Windows client installations, open a command prompt window and navigate to the <EM Instance Name>\bin directory.

2. Type one of the following commands:
   • emdef copydefjob [-USERNAME <user> [-PASSWORD <password>] | -PASSWORD_FILE <password file>] -HOST <GUI Server Name> -ARG_FILE <XML file name> [/a]
   • emdef copydefjob [-u <user> [-p <password>] | -pf <password file>] -s <GUI Server Name> -arg <XML file name> [/a]

   NOTE: For Windows, you do not need to use the emdef prefix.

   For details about the copydefjob parameters and switches, see emdef general parameters and emdef switches.
